"i'm open to the possibility that a saurian species may have paid a visit to this planet, but all of the ancient accounts may be literal misinterpretations by people like icke.

for instance, the ancients believed that a comet - which brought widespread destruction to earth - was a fiery serpent from the heavens, so they began worshiping it and sacrificing humans to it, in the hope it would appease it.

if you look at the mayan codices, you will see clear depictions of men dressing in animal skins (the pantheon of egyptian animal-headed gods may have been men in masks). because serpent or rather 'comet' worship was rife back then, the tribal chiefs may have worn attire made from snake skins, which provided them with a reptilian appearance. did you ever consider this very likely possibility? did icke? this explanation is overlooked because it's less entertaining than lizard men from space, and less likely to sell books."

...a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and can leave the mind vulnerable to misinformation.

well, i just made it very clearly. ...to simplify it for you: icke says that the ancient world was ruled by lizard gods from space. i said icke's interpretation may well be skewed, as the reptile gods may have been human tribal leaders who dressed in snake skins.
